The Best of TImes, the Worst of Times.
Driving home from Wichita late friday night I had the most profound moment during a Prince song on the radio. Okay I didn't really have a profound moment while listening to Prince (or the Artist). But man, I wanted to start this one off with a bang. (note to reader, i'm not a prince fan per say, it was just one of the few songs coming in clear as I had already exhausted my cassette options of Conway Twitty and Smoky Mountain Hymns)
The older I get, and when I'm not sure whether my life is leading up to something really big, or something really not all that great, I like to think of it in terms of how somebody else would write about it. The irony is, since I started blogging, I've been actually writing less, but rather spend more time thinking about what I would be writing if I didn't pre-edit myself so much that most of it doesn't make the page. Even as I type now, I tell myself it's for the sake of catharsis, not that I really will tell you what's going on. I guess, for now, that's fine. I'm okay really anway.
I will tell you this. I need more Bob in my life. Bob Marley that is. I don't own a single Album of his. And as trite as it may seem, I really do feel quite alright during "One Love" and other hits.
Somewhere between Emporia and Topeka (please see Sunsets, Does and F-Bombs for more adventures on this stretch) a semi passed me that said "CON-WAY" on the back. That made me smile, as I can't seem to make a trip in the car anymore with out my buddy Conway Twitty playing. Every song's a sing along. I promise you'd be singing with me. You really would be.
I was quite tired, exhausted almost on the way home, but thanks to Ben Mattson who told me one time that chewing and spitting out sunflower seeds is even better than caffeine I was in good shape. I did see a deer on the side of the road, alas, none ON the road though! Special thanks goes out to Natalie for Lending an ear pre-drive. Muchos Gracias if per chance you read this mumbo jumbo. It did a heart good.
Special Howdy's must also go out to the SUZ who should have arrived in Deutchland sometime early this morning. Yes that's right folks, Wichita's best kept secret and model citizen has moved. The city should be weeping collectively for their loss. Your town will not be the same........sigh...........
Today delivering flowers, I felt pretty good. I had a good run, until I saw a dumb church sign at a Methodist (sorry methodist readers) church I was taking wedding flowers to. "Live right now, So you won't be Left". Thanks for watering down the gospel. My heart sank as I read probably entirely too much into it. It seems they are only propagating the already consuming and complety false idea that A (doing good stuff)+ B (living good) = C Salvation and or going to Heaven. Way to go Methodist church. I do not apologize for my sarcasm at this point.
breath......
I think maybe i'll write on this more often for better or worse, or more of the same. Have a good night, morning, afternoon............hug a friend and drink more water.
